SECTION VIII: ELECTRICAL

DANGER

Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock once power is turned off.

WARNING

Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm.

Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any electrical work.

Each boiler must be protected with a properly siz ed fused disconnect.

Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.

WARNING

The primary control may be damaged or may not function properly if 120 volt power supply is NOT wired into control as follows:

The 120V interrupted hot (black) wire must be connected to the primary control black wire, the 120V neutral (white) wire must be connected to the primary control white wire and the 120V constant hot (red) wire must be connected to the primary control red wire.

A. GENERAL

1.Install wiring and electrically ground boiler in accordance with requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, or in absence of such requirements the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, and/or the CSA C22.1 Electric Code.

2.Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric Codes for proper size and type of wire required. Follow Code.

3.A separate electrical circuit must be run from the main electrical service with an over-current device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is recommended and may be required by some local jurisdictions.

4.Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control boxes.

5.Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line voltage wiring.

6.If an Alliance™ indirect water heater is used, use priority zoning. Do not use priority zoning for Hydro-Air Systems.

7.If boiler is installed in Canada, a blocked vent safety switch must be installed. Refer to Blocked Vent Safety Switch Instruction Supplement provided with boiler (Canada only).

8.Wiring should conform to Figures 19 through 23F.

B.INSTALL A ROOM THERMOSTAT on an inside wall about four feet above floor. Never install thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be influenced by drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting fixtures, television, rays of the sun or near a fireplace. Keep large furniture away from thermostat so there will be free movement of room air around this control.

Heat Anticipator in Thermostat should be set to match the requirements of the control to which it is connected. See Figures 19 thru 23F for desired system and heat anticipator setting. If system tends to overheat above the thermostat's temperature setting, reduce heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps. If system tends to short cycle without reaching desired room temperature, increase heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps.
